I‘m not sure why I didn‘t finish this the first time I had it out from the library. Probably my usual too many books and not paying attention to due dates! Anyway, I‘m glad I finally did. Sad story, written well.
Texas in the blue (read) column. Green means TBR. Red means I‘m still looking for a book. Gold means I have my own copy of the book and will try to read those first. #50states #mysteries
This year I read seven books for my slow roll of progress on #50states of mystery, and I have more of them as potential reads next year. This atmospheric and bittersweet coming-of-age story/mystery is told in dual timelines and set in a small town in Mississippi.
Day 4 of #12booksof2020 and my favorite book from April.
This was an enjoyable read. The mystery is not too involved but not super simple, and there are some discussion of more serious issues such as shady dealings over land rights and families wrestling with addiction. But also a headstrong MC pursuing an amateur murder investigation, hints of romance, and lots of food.

Blue = read
Green = TBR
Gold = in progress
Red = to be identified
This was a fun cozy mystery that includes just about everything that annoys me about cozies, but it‘s a clever story with a likable main character. Also, the rest of the series has delightful punny titles. Don‘t read while hungry!
I found an app with a savable map, so I can have a more accurate picture, since I always managed to make mistakes on the website-based maps.
Blue = read
Green = TBR
Gold = reading
Red = still looking

Because I don‘t have enough books to read in June, I put this on hold at a neighboring county‘s library that‘s starting curbside service next week. This is a #blameitonlitsy but I don‘t remember who suggested it. Thanks also to @umbrellagirl for the Connecticut recommendation! #50states #mystery #paradise #boundtogetherjune
I need to finish this before the library reopens!#repeataword #boundtogetherjune #50states #mystery
I‘ve finished a couple more #50states #mysteries lately. Tagged book is an interesting story of two men, one black and one white, who were briefly friends as children but whose lives took different turns as they got older when one was accused of murder but never convicted. It‘s a very small town in Mississippi, and you can feel the bugs in the woods and the tension in the air thanks to the author‘s lyrical but not flowery writing. More ⬇️
A fun romp through the state of Delaware as Biden and Obama bicker like an old married couple and solve the mystery of a dead Amtrak conductor. #50states
Green means book has been read. Blue means book has been identified but not yet read. Red means I‘m still looking for a book from that state. So suggestions welcome...
The old map was driving me nuts! As soon as I added one state, another one would drop! I like this site much better, because you can use different colors for different categories. (Spent a lot of time there, just passing through, etc.) In this case...green for book read, blue for book identified but not read, and red for book to be identified. #50states #mystery
